#I’m so proud of his growth. he tried to seperate them to have ‘his old captain’ for himself

The fact that the entire crew lied to Stede at some point to take the blame for Ed’s actions because they knew that hearing just how severly he traumatized him would have scared him off (not as in being scared of Ed, but as in being scared that he has hurt Ed so much that he would rather run away once more as to not cause any more suffering than to face him and actually fight for him) and they couldn’t let that happen because everyone who has been near Blackbeard in the last few months knows that the only way to help this man, the only way to temporarily and after some work even permanently fix his deep rooted turmoil is Stede fucking Bonnet.

#ofmd #our flag means death #and the man who knew him best - Izzy - took the most blame out of all of them #I’m so proud of his growth. he tried to seperate them to have ‘his old captain’ for himself #but instead he ended up realizing that he was the catalyzer in causing Ed to end up being so much worse #Izzy has accepted that he will never compare to Stede when it comes to Ed’s love #and he is so fucking selfless that instead he even tries to help Stede to win Ed back because at this point he just wants him to be happy #Izzy has accepted that there is no Blackbeard. He is finally trying to do what makes Edward happy #and I’m so proud of him for chosing that path especially after everything he’s been through #Izzy hands #Edward teach #Stede Bonnet #stede fucking bonnet #ofmd s2 spoilers
